Why should smoking be made illegal, because smoking hurts everyone. Around the world smoking claims the lives of 5.4 million people a year. If smoking were to be banned in the United States there would be 443,000 fewer deaths related to smoking. While that isn’t all 5.4 million it would be a giant leap in the right direction.

Another reason smoking should be banned is because of the pollution it causes. Because of the evidence that smoking kills smoking should be banned.

Smoking truly affects everyone, not only the smoker but the people around them. Smoking affects how a smoker exercises. Smokers have trouble exercising because of shortness of breath.

On average a smoker gets 597.5 more hours of breaks than a nonsmoker in a single year. All of these hours that smokers get off nonsmokers are working. I think that a smoker getting all of this time off is unfair for the smoker who is getting paid the same but actually works much more hours than the smoker. The bottom line is that society could benefit from getting rid of cigarettes.

Smoking can also increase a smoker’s risk of a deadly infection or a weakness of the immune system. Every 6.5 seconds a person dies because of the deadly affects of smoking. Second hand...
